Australian Water Buffalo Hunts need to be experienced by all serious big game hunters. Best of all the Land down under offers many additional species to hunt including, Wild Ox, Banteng, Rusa, Sambar, Sika, Chital and Hog Deer Hunts.
Australian Water Buffalo are big, powerful and dangerous animals. They are the third largest of all the buffalo species. A mature Bull Water Buffalo can weigh over 1700-1800lbs. Both the cow and bull Australian Water Buffalo have horns, with the wild Water Buffalo having heavier mass and greater spreads than ranch buffalo. Ranch Bull Water Buffalo tend to have the same mass as the cows, which is what makes it worth your while to pursue wild, free range, Water Buffalo.
A trophy free range Australian Water Buffalo will typically have horns measuring anywhere from 27-40 inches in length per horn, and have bases measuring 15-24 inches.
Australian Water Buffalo only have 1 real predator once they are grown, which is the huge salt water croc, but the calves are susceptible to packs of dingos.

In this wild and remote section of Australia you will find the last herds of true wild oxen. Real Wild Oxen are not to be mistaken for common wild ranch cattle or scrub bulls. Wild Oxen are typically light red in color and with a white blaze on their nose and quite often will have white blazes down their legs. Wild Oxen are much flightier than the Australian Water Buffalo and will bolt into the thick brush the moment they feel threatened.
Wild Ox prefer to live in the thick cover of the jungle but will occasionally come out into clearings on the edges in the evening. Wild Ox are taller than water buffalo and can stand up to 6 feet at the shoulder and weigh anywhere from 1000-2600 lbs.
